Just curious on what all of you think the best fan setup is for the 500R. I really didn't care about fan noise when I had my 470's in SLI beings they were louder than all the case fans. But now that I got a GTX 680, I'm thinking of switching out the fans to something that might be more quiet. Not that they are that loud, but they are the loudest part of my PC now.

Currently I have my H80 as rear exhaust with the fans that came with it. I moved the exhaust fan that came with the case to an exhaust on the top front section. Then I just have the 2 front and 1 side that came with the case.

I'm thinking of adding a fan as intake on the bottom by the PSU and another exhaust up top. I also might switch out the 200mm side fan for 2x140mm fans. I wonder about adding the fan to the bottom by the PSU...wouldn't that just move your intake air from the front fans right up to the exhaust on the top without it really getting to your GPU or other components?

Also, any recommendations on good/quiet fans would be great. Of course ones that would be more quiet than the stock fans. I'm gonna guess that there will be a lot of recommendations for the Gentle Typhoon fans, but they are a little to spendy for me at the moment.

I also swapped out the front fans for 2 XIGMATEK XLF-F1254. Not too much airflow but they're quiet. For me, the front fans created the most noise so these are a must to replace if you want a quieter rig.
